So this may have been covered before but I'm bringing it up again. I've been applying my butt off since October and I've only received 3 responses, none of which went further than 1 interview. My resume is solid and ATS friendly, I've started reaching out to recruiters and hiring managers on LinkedIn at the companies I've applied to with mixed responses. I've also significantly lowered my salary expectations. For those who have had success in landing a job recently, what more should I be doing?

I had the same problem I have applied to over 3,000 jobs and the most toxic environment are the one that’s called but I just couldn’t. Then I bought this ebook on how to become an independent recruiter where all I had to do was present quality candidates, to the Hm for interviews and if there hired I would make $10k per placement. I made 2 placements so far in IT. I’m working on 10 contracts right now if just 2 get hired I’ll make $35k again! I love doing it this way because i can travel freely and I don’t have to answer to anyone.

Work your network. Go to local networking events. If you are focused on remote roles your search will be a lot harder.

I'm so glad you brought this up because I'm still trying to figure out what "network" everyone is talking about. My colleagues and I are all going through the same situation so they are no help. For those of us who aren't well connected, what do WE do?

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

Langland NYC office, who is your recruiter?

Today's tip: Your resume (and cover letter) should target the specific position. The easiest way to do this is to edit your professional summary and key skills sections (which should comprise the top third of your resume) to reflect the qualifications required or desired in the job posting. Be honest – only reference those skills you have!
